About the role
Role within Silicon Technologies focusing on electrical analysis closure for next-generation GPU design, involving collaboration with Physical Design, power integrity, EM/ESD analyses, and back-end integration from design planning to tapeout.
Responsibilities
- Realize the complete electrical analysis closure from early design planning to tapeout.
- Work closely with the Physical Design team to design power grid specifications balancing power integrity targets and PNR performance, power and area (PPA).
- Define on-die power switch topology, wake-up schemes, and in-rush control.
- Collaborate with internal teams to drive bump map, custom RDL routing, and package design/optimization.
- Develop test structures, procedures/automation, and analysis methodologies for electrical analysis challenges.
- Perform Power Integrity, EM, and ESD analysis, drive feedback, and recommend design solutions.
- Communicate and drive the needs of PD and Electrical Analysis with multi-functional teams to enable back-end design goals.
Qualifications
- BS + 3 years of relevant experience
- Experience with Signal/Power Integrity checks including Electromigration, Static IR and Dynamic Voltage drop checks.
- Experience with global power integrity tools (e.g. Redhawk, Voltus).
- Experience with on-die high frequency power delivery, and exposure to off-die concepts and models.
- Experience with bump planning and redistribution layer routing strategies, including IO bumps and edge encroachment scenarios.
- Familiar with ASIC integration including Floorplanning, Clock and Power distribution, global signal planning, I/O planning and hard IP integration.
- Background with large SoC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies >1GHz using innovative technologies.
- Track record in solving complex PD and multi-functional problems, leading a team to innovate on GPU designs.
- Circuit design and simulation background a plus, but not required.
- Experience with global timing verification, SPICE simulation/analysis, and Physical Design Verification Flows.
